You realize how silly these proposed demonstrations are don't you? All of this focus on one little boy. And what of all the fatherless little boys, fatherless through abandonment, non-involvement, etc. living in scores of countries in marginal circumstances world-wide? Yet you focus on trying to deny THIS little boy his father all in the name of your concept of FREEDOM.

Your priorities are way out of whack. Imposing your sense of freedom on others is just another form of oppression.

"Americans do not know what communism is" I talked to someone who lived in Germany during WWII, at the end of the war he was 15. He asked his mother why they voted for Hitler and the reply was "we would have voted for the devil" conditions were so harsh people gave power to the first silver-tongued candidate who held out hope.

It makes more sense to blame (and do something about) the conditions that lead to the rise of Hitler, Stalin and a thousand other thugs that like to kick down the doors of innocent citizens in the middle of the night.
